Within the HBT (Hospitals of the Thau basin), as our cephalopod could see, it is still not the mad love between FO and the CGT …
Le Poufre, as everyone knows, likes to go and observe, including on land, the events that punctuate the local news in Sète and around the lagoon. This Thursday 21, our favorite cephalopod went to drag his gaiters, or rather his arms, near the Saint-Clair hospital. Where a demonstration by health workers was taking place, as well as a strike, due, in particular, to the financial situation (12 M € deficit), the lack of staff and working conditions, against the backdrop of the pandemic, within the HBT (Hospitals of the Thau basin).

Two distant camps
“You dared to cut me off!”, Launched Véronique Mauroy to Patrick Jean, who immediately and sharply replied: “You were too long. And it was us, FO, who first called for this movement”. In short, for the collective or family photo, it was a bit complicated, as the two camps remained distant. Unfortunately, by offering a somewhat distressing image of the union union within the largest public employer in the Thau basin. While the same causes are supposed to (re) unite them.
The upcoming prospect, in 2022, of professional elections to the HBTs, is perhaps not unrelated to this surge of hostility fever. That the Poufre, and he is surely not the only one, can only deplore …
